Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesia has so far proven to be the most favorite destination for Australian tourists, overtaking New Zealand, Indonesian Ambassador to Australia Nadjib Riphat Kesoema said.
"The variety of natural wealth and beauty, culture and world-class tourist facilities that the Indonesian government offers to tourists have become special attractions for Australian tourists," he stated in a press statement released on Saturday.
His remarks came when the Indonesian Tourism Ministry and the Indonesian Embassy in Australia were conducting a promotional activity at Hotel Hyatt in Canberra recently.
Besides helping promote mutual understanding between the peoples of the two countries, the tourism sector can also create jobs in Indonesia, he added.
He underlined that he supported the program to conduct tourism promotion in several Australian cities such as Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
The program will serve as a venue for a meeting between Australian travel agents and their Indonesian counterparts directly, he said.
The ambassador has called on Australian tourism companies to encourage Australian citizens to visit other Indonesian tourist destinations than Bali.
Data from the Indonesian Embassy in Canberra showed that almost 85 percent of 1.2 million Australian tourists visited Bali in 2015.
Nadjib offered potential visitors from Australia other tourist destinations such Toraja, Lake Toba, Raja Ampat, Labuhan Bajo, Tanjung Kalayang, Seribu Islands, Borobudur Temple, Mount Bromo, Wakatobi and Morotai Island.

Denpasar (ANTARA News) - Business leaders predicted that Balis exports of commodities other than oil and gas would increase in the rest of the year on expected improvement of economic condition in destination countries.
In addition, exporters are more aggressive in diversifying export markets and there are efforts to strengthen competitive edge by improving the quality of export commodities, a business leader Made Jiwa said here on Saturday.
Made said the largest export market for Balis commodities is the United States, followed by Japan, Australia, Singapore, and China respectively accounting for 25.02 percent, 8.23 percent, 7.22 percent, 6.71 percent and 5.10 percent of Balis exports in value.
In the first five months of this year, Bali exported US$208.2 million worth of goods, down 3.01 percent from US$214.7 million the same period last year.
Under the present condition, Balis exports are relatively stable, despite the unfavorable condition of the global market, Made said.
Balis exports to the United States are dominated by fish, and shrimps, non knitted ready made wear, timber, and timber products and plaited goods.
Bali reported a surplus of US$141.9 million in the first five months of the year with exports valued at US$208.2 million and imports at US$66.3 million.
